Beata Blaszczok
Hidden Beauty of Plants
Beata is a Polish female artist based in Dublin, Ireland who uses photography and film making as her way of studying the natural world. Her work highlights the hidden beauty of wild flora’s aesthetics, study of herbology, and the importance of those plants. Hidden beauty of plants depicts an investigation of Polish and Irish wild flora through microscopic lenses using both photography and film making. The exhibition highlights the similarities between wild Polish flora and Irish flora. A collective approach of plants from both Ireland and Poland shows diaspora of an artist’s Polish family and from where an artist’s interest around botany and nature came from. The whole exhibition symbolises the beauty of time, where both fresh plants and compressed plants were studied through the microscope.
